An integral component of the federal government's mid-twentieth century plan to redevelop Southwest Washington DC, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) headquarters buildings were constructed in the 1960s to house two rapidly growing agencies: NASA and the FAA. In 2004, the buildings long referred to as Federal Office Buildings 10A and 10B, were named in honor of flight pioneers Orville and Wilbur Wright. Unique examples of the International Style in federal construction, the buildings have recently been determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
